Hi All,
Do you have your tax information in place for your work-at-home business? Getting a Federal and State tax ID number is a piece of
cake!
For your Federal ID number, please visit the site www.irs.gov. This web site has lots of great tax information. You can also apply for your Federal Tax Id at this site. Tons of information is on this site if you have other tax questions. You'll have your Federal Tax ID number in no time.
I also noticed some enterprising folks out there trying to sell people the information for getting tax id's. BEWARE. This is definitely a rip off! Go right to the IRS, and you can get your tax ID for free.
For your state tax ID, start with your state's web site. I had no trouble finding the place on the Wyoming state web site that has the application for your state tax ID. Wyoming also contacts me periodically, so I can keep my state taxes paid.
The tax forms for both of these sites are fairly easy to fill out. So get on line, and get that tax ID. You can save yourself some legal trouble and sleepless nights if you get your taxes handled right away.

Thanks for the information. I have found my state tax people extremely helpful, my being new at having an at home business and all. I am good at making money, good at spending money, but not always that great at keeping track of money and taxes, so it helps to have a friendly tax staff at the state level to help you out. I hope you're as lucky at your state.

Do you have to make (through sales) a certain amount of money before you need to apply for a Federal and State tax ID number?

No, you can apply immediately. It's really a good idea to do this so you can start building a business credit report. This is separate from your personal credit report if you have a Tax ID number. I run two businesses from home and this has been helpful. Email me with any questions regarding starting your own business at [email protected].

A Federal Tax Identification Number and an Employer Identification Number are the same thing. It is a nine-digit number (e.g 12-9384765) generally assigned to businesses in the US for tax filing and reporting purposes.
